Champagne or Beer? : Cleansing Oils

Thursday, July 10, 2014

On the right side we have the Boscia Makeup-Breakup Cool Cleansing Oil, my first love. The one that stopped my fear of fighting oil with oil, the one that took off ALL my makeup so easily, why must you be so expensive?? Do you stand a chance against the L'Oréal Sublime Radiance Sensational Cleansing Oil?

Our champagne contender, the Boscia oil retails for 34.00$ (Sephora)and is described as : "A deep-cleansing blend of botanical oils that dissolves makeup and impurities while refreshing congested skin."

Our beer contender, the L'Oréal oil retails for around 10$ (depending when and where you get it) and is described as : " incredibly gentle oil removes traces of makeup and impurities to reveal skin that looks amazingly hydrated, sublime and glowing." The formula is supposedly "radiance infused", whatever that means..(More details here)

I use both the same way (solely as a makeup remover) : Pump out 2-3 pumps onto dry hands and apply directly to dry face. Gently massage the face, and go over the eyes gently to break down everything. Went your hands and massage your face gently again, they both turn into a milky/foamy type cleanser. Take a wet washcloth to remove all residue (you'll go nuts trying to splash your face squeaky clean). I then follow with my cleanser and the rest of my night time routine.

Let's score them individually :

L'Oréal:

Packaging : 4/5 That pump is kind of annoying

Quantity/Usage : 3/5 (150 ML) The oil is pretty runny and I feel like I use more (3 pumps), therefore run out faster
